General Instructions
For product application, health and safety information, read the product's Technical User Manual and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the documentation section. The performance of the varnish increases with regular maintenance. To ensure optimal protection, check your exterior wood every two years and maintain it if necessary.
- To avoid brush strokes, make small areas of application and finish the application in the edging of wood. In addition, always brush in the direction of a non-stained area and then return to the stained surface by taking the excess stain.
- Apply in the direction of wood grains to obtain a homogeneous appearance.
- Always start painting at the top of the wood.
- To prevent the glass, hinge, lock, door handle, and other accessories from painting, cover them with masking tape before starting the application.
- For good protection, make sure the entire surface of the wood is well stained. Do not forget to apply head parts to the upper and lower edges of the doors and under the window sills.
- Make sure that the edge corners of the wood you are applying will be chamfered (rounded) and no sharp corners. You cannot provide adequate protection to these sharp corners as you cannot apply enough of the product for film-forming

The colors shown in the color field are applied on pine and care has been taken to ensure that they are close to reality. The color and shine you will achieve will vary depending on the properties, texture and absorbency of the wood. Additionally, how thick and how many layers of paint is applied will also affect the result. In order to see the real color, it is recommended to try it on the wood to be used.
